AMC’s martial arts drama Into the Badlands will end after the upcoming final eight episodes of its third season, which will debut March 24. The network also has set an April 24 premiere date for Season 2 of drama The Son, starring Pierce Brosnan, which will be its last.
Neither cancellation is particularly surprising. Both Into the Bandlands and The Son were renewed for Season 3 and Season 2, respectively, almost two years ago. Into the Badlands’ 16-episode third season was completed awhile ago, the cast was released, and a number of them have taken on new acting gigs. As for The Son, as a Western, it did draw respectable viewership though it was old-skewing. Additionally, I hear star Brosnon only had signed a short-term contract which is the case with many movie stars who do TV series these days.

Actress Jeanna Michaels passed away on May 23 after a brief battle with lymphoma. She was 62.
"My passion for make-believe, my crude theatrical talent, and my friends (imaginary and otherwise) were what started me in productions from Coast to Coast," Michael wrote in her bio on the Compass Players website. She was the founder and Producing Artistic Director. "My father moved us from Manchester, Ct to the San Fernando Valley in California, and my living room productions led to award-winning high school and college productions." I was fortunate to be accepted as a Theater Arts major at UCLA. There, under the tutelage of Michael Gordon, I learned the craft and the business of theater. I was further blessed with other mentors like Stella Adler, Michael Shurtleff, and Ken McMillan. They transitioned me from a shy, gawky teenager to one of the million or so would-be-actors looking for a job—All of whom are talented,...

“Nothing is forever in the Theater. Whatever it is, it’s here, it flares up, burns hot and then its gone.” – Celeste Holm in All About Eve
Yet another elegant light from the Golden Age has been dimmed. Celeste Holm was the original Ado Annie on Broadway in Oklahoma! and an Oscar-winner for best supporting actress in Gentleman’S Agreement, but everyone’s favorite Celeste Holm role was that of the cynical Karen Richards in All About Eve (1950- for which she was also nominated). She was so funny as Flame O’Neil opposite Vincent Price and Ronald Colman in the hilarious Champagne For Caesar (1950) and I fondly remember her as the Fairy Godmother in the 1960s TV version of Cinderella. Celeste Holm was 95
From The New York Times:
Celeste Holm, the New York-born actress who made an indelible Broadway impression as an amorous country girl in Rodgers and Hammerstein.s .Oklahoma!

All About Eve is regularly considered to be one of the greatest films from the annals of Hollywood’s history and with a record 14 Oscar nominations – tying it with James Cameron’s epic Titanic (1998) – and 6 wins, it’s hard to argue against it’s importance. And now with today’s Blu-ray upgrade, improving on all previous DVD releases, it’s great to see this piece of film history transformed into a slick, deserving and glossy HD presentation. If you’ve never taken the opportunity to delve into the world of back-stage dramas and one-upmanship then now couldn’t be a better time.
All About Eve follows the schemes and manoeuvres of an aspiring actress, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter), as she attempts to inculcate herself into the life of aging, but mammoth stage star Margo Channing (Bette Davis) and her array of theatre friends. As Eve engineers herself to become indispensible to Margo,...
